The Lake Erie Folk Festival is our love letter to traditional music in Northeast Ohio. Created and produced by the Northeast Ohio Musical Heritage Association, and now in partnership with WRUW-FM, Lake Erie Folk Festival is back on Valentine’s Day - Saturday February 14th on the Case Western Reserve University Campus.  Lake Erie Folk Festival has become Northeast Ohio's largest winter gathering of the region’s traditional music community, drawing visitors from five counties and three states to Greater Cleveland in the otherwise dark days of February. Visitors come for the great music, the sharing and learning and to be part of a vibrant community.  LEFF features a host of accessible offerings, including all-day jam sessions playing all kinds of traditional music, free community concerts throughout the afternoon, a whole series of workshops to suit a wide range of musical interests, all topped off with a remarkable line-up of national and local bands sharing the stage in the festival’s always-popular evening concert.  There will be music for all ages and abilities -- young musicians and those new to the music are all welcome. All daytime festival events take place from 1:00-6:00pm in Thwing Center, and are free and open to all.  […]
